Incoco Nail Polish Applique

I received these a few months ago in my monthly BirchBox and I knew I wanted to save them for my birthday. They have a ton of different designs and color to choose from on the Incoco website. The design that was sent to me from Birchbox is called Spring Vines, they describe it by saying "the intricate swirls of this design are entrancing in aqua!" which I would agree with hehe. You can only find these online either on the Incoco website for $8.99 or on Amazon. The Incoco website is incredibly user friendly, you can shop by collection, shade, french manicure, or design. They also sell pedicure products, gel manicure sets, and nail accessories. You can also get free shipping if your order more then $50 and everyone loves free shipping!

Though it looks like line of strips it is actually 2, and I noticed as soon as I opened the inner package that it smelt like I had opened a new bottle of finger nail polish. This make sense because it says that its made out of real nail polish! The directions say to lightly buff your nails and clean them before applying. I simply cleaned mine with rubbing alcohol. Each individual strip has 2 different sides which are slightly different widths so that you can pick the end that fits the shape of your nail the best. It also says to remove the excess with a nail file but I feel like that might peel off the strip so I used small nail clippers but I bet cuticle scissors would work great.

Tips...

When stretching the strips make sure not to pull too hard because the strip will tear and ruin the strip possibly. I found this out the hard way on the first strip I tried to put on hehe. Also the heat from your hand will help the strips adhere to your nails. Press the fresh placed nail strip with the palm of your hand to warm them up and make sure they are truly secure.

Final Thoughts...

Practice makes Perfect. If your nails/nail beds are small enough you might be able to squeeze 2 manicures from one pack which would make them only around $4.50! I used a small sample bag from Sephora to keep my left over strips from drying out. I might be able to squeeze out another manicure or at least fix this one if it messes up! Plus the biggest size if perfect for my big toe so I might get a semi-matching pedicure out of this pack also! If these last 2 weeks like they claim they do, even if I have to add a top coat like I'm thinking about doing, I would definitely order some more of these. There are so many fun designs and its far cheaper then going to a nail salon, perfect for a special occasion or everyday!
